Antigua AND Barbuda

Among all the Caribbean island nations, Antigua and Barbuda are renowned for their vibrant culture and pristine nature. Today, it is a member of the Commonwealth Realm and a sought-after tourist destination. Boasting over 365 sandy beaches on the island of Antigua alone, this country is a popular stop for jet-setters and cruisers. While the country has no shortage of all-inclusive resorts and beach clubs, I opted to discover the more authentic slice of Antigua for my first-ever trip to the Caribbean. From the colorful Capital of Saint John to the megalithic stone circle of Greencastle Hill, Antigua and Barbuda is full of surprises and riches for discovery.
